By the way I Know that There is allready drawRect() but I will be adding
some more functionalities to the class that drawRect has not.

To clarify Jason's response:
You're adding two different things. In the first case, you're adding a
child movieclip (with a rectangle drawn inside it) to the empty
DrawRectangle instance. In the second case, you're adding the
DrawRectangle instance to the screen.
You should rewrite your init func
Because within your class which extends MovieClip, you are creating a
new MovieClip, which you draw on, and thus also has to be added to the
display list.
Also, you do know about :
sprite.graphics.drawRect()
right? So what is this class going to accomplish?
Any reason you are using MovieClip
I am creating a custom Class that draws a simple rectangle for an
application. Here is the class
DrawRectangle.as
public class DrawRectangle extends MovieClip {
public var _w:Number;
public var _h:Number;

public var _y:Number;

For things like Papervision 3D, where bezier curves are important,
Tweener is the obvious choice. For general purposes, though, Tweener is
probably overkill. I'm not bashing Tweener or Fuse or any of the other

While I agree with the speed thing, let's just keep this in context -
it's so when you have a lot of tweenings going on at the exact same
time. A few tweens won't produce a difference in terms of framerate. If
they do, there's something else wrong.
Still, I think we should be glad there are so
Tweenlite has one lil thingy against it though; tweens aren't synchronised.
It doesn't happen much that this becomes a problem, though I can imagine
projects where people want lots of tweens ending at the same time, which
simply won't happen with lots of objects in TweenLite, other than

Tweener is proven to be significantly slower than TweenLite, and it's
almost 300% larger (TweenLite is 3k vs Tweener's 8k).
I'm not telling you what to do. You're welcome to your preference. I
prefer to write better, faster, smaller, more efficient code. Different
strokes for different folks,
I prefer Tweener, and if you've ever used Fuse you'll like it's syntax. It's
also quite small - adds about 8K.

besides, the compiler only warns you that you're about the overwrite the
variable, by
re-assigning it. In case of 2 loops(where the variable is only used within
the loop),
it doesn't have any real consequences.

You can't call new Background_mc() when it's an instance of Class -
there's no constructor for it that the compiler recognizes.

You are correct Jonathan, but loop blocks are delimited by brackets, so
